Well I've seen some castles in my time and the answer is definitely more than 3.
aproximately how many castles are there in the world
Castles in Europe were made out of many different materials depending on what type of castle it is. For example, Motte and Bailey Castles would have been built out of wood and Stone Castles would (and still are) made out of stone because it is stronger and more sturdy.
Many of the world's castles are now museums or rented out.
400+
There were thousands of castles made in the medieval era and renaissance. Many have fallen into disrepair, and many have no visible remains. Some, however, have been maintained by their owners and even renovated for use as personal lodging, museums, or monuments.

Many castles had moats, steep embankments or other natural defenses. Castle defense was often a matter of waiting out the attackers - many castles had their own water supply. Artillery, which could destroy walls, made castles obsolete.
You can find existing castles in many different countries The castles that are still standing today are all stone castles as the earlier Motte and Bailey castles are made out of wood and would have rotted down.
Over 1,000 to be exact. There has been over 2000 castles in Scotland, although many are only known through historical records. Many castles do not have defensive capabilities and by the 18th Century drew on military and tower house architecture for decorative detail
All castles that exist today are made from stone because stone lasts for a long time. In total there were three types of castles: Stone Keep castles (Stone castles), Motte and Bailey castles and Concentric castles. The Stone Keep castles were made out of stone along with the Concentric Castles and still stand to this day as great monuments. The Motte and Bailey castles, however were made out of wood and have all rotted away to leave none left standing today.
not sure
Stone Keep castles (Stone castles) are quite a few centuries old. They were built in the 11th century by King William I (William the conqueror) not long after he took over Britain after the battle of hastings. Stone castles however, weren't the first castles William built in Britain. He first built Motte and Bailey castles. The reasons for this were that they were cheap and easy to build as they were made out of wood. He decided to build Stone castles to replace many of the Motte and Bailey castles for many reasons including these: * Stone castles don't burn * Stone castles don't rot within a few years but will carry on standing for centuries to come * Stone castles were heavier, making them much stronger
